==========
|
|
|
|
The Amiga environment running within UAE may share the host machine's
|
|
network access via an emulation of the bsdsocket.library (this library
|
|
provides the standard Amiga networking API). This isn't supported on
|
|
all target platforms yet, but it should work on Linux, Unix and
|
|
Mac OS X.
|
|
|
|
The emulation of the bsdsocket.library API is not complete, but should
|
|
be sufficient to allow you to use most popular AmigaOS network
|
|
clients, such as web browsers and mail readers.
|
|
|
|
To enable the bsdsocket.library emulation (assuming you are using a
|
|
version of PUAE with this feature compiled in), add the option
|
|
|
|
bsdsocket_emu=true
|
|
|
|
to your config file.
|
|
|
|
Note that you do not need to install any real Amiga network stack - such
|
|
as AmiTCP or Miami - to be able to use the bsdsocket emulation.
|
|
|
|
Also note that when using the bsdsocket.library emulation that your
|
|
AmigaOS environment will use the same IP address as the host platform.
|
|
This may limit the types of networking software you can run in the
|
|
emulated Amiga environment. For example, Amiga software will not be
|
|
able to bind to ports already in use by host software, and your host
|
|
operating system may impose access controls on certain ranges of ports.
|
|
|
|
Older versions of PUAE required that a bsdsocket.library wrapper file
|
|
be installed somewhere in the LIBS: path in your Amiga environment.
|
|
This is no longer the case, and this file should now be removed.
